Colongra Gas Turbines

Approval to build  a 667MW gas turbine facility near the existing Munmorah Power Station on the Central Coast was granted in July 2006. 

The Colongra Gas Turbine plant will be able to start up quickly to supply electricity during times of high demand.

International engineering firm, Alstom are in charge of construction and the project is progressing well since it began in October 2007.   Alstom have been awarded five major gas turbine projects in Australia since 2005.

The natural gas to fuel the turbines will be supplied via a new underground pipeline connecting to the existing Sydney-Newcastle pipeline. Progress reports on the pipeline construction project is in the section Colongra Gas Pipeline

Equipment deliveries - oversized loads may cause delays

Tentative dates have been set starting in September for the delivery of components to the Colongra Gas Turbine site.  12 deliveries are expected in all. The deliveries are so large, they will take up most of the southbound lanes of the F3.  Motorists are asked to avoid travelling south on the F3 during these periods as they will experience delays.

Traffic management

One condition of the approval for the Colongra Gas Turbine project is that traffic management protocol is prepared. 

 

The protocol addresses the requirements of Wyong Shire Council and the Roads and Traffic Authority.  It outlines how to manage traffic that may be generated during construction with a view to keeping impacts on the community to a minimum.
